Can somebody please explain to an idiot (me) how is this possible for this to keep going? I thought that the world has decided that spyware is illegal and can't be produced. Is this company related to israeli government? If not, why is it allowed to function?
- muvlon 8mo agoThe world has not decided that spyware can't be produced. Mostly, the powers that be treat it like weapons of war. That is, companies can make and sell it as long as they only sell it to governments and only the ones that we like.
